    Wow Dwight Howard can make a 3 sitting at mid court, but can't make a 12 foot jump shot. Amazing!

    I'm just going to assume that's a rhetorical question.

    It's pretty hard to determine degree of difficulty on a behind the backboard shot since they all seem tough and can be highly subjective. However, Evans's behind the backboard shot should have at least been number 3.

    The backboard shot looks like the most efficient way to score this season.

    Lame. The only in-game shot they had were behind-the-backboard shots. You know, if you've got a half-dozen people hitting them, including the likes of Kyle Korver, maybe they aren't as hard to hit as you'd think.

    why the best behind-the-backboard shots were by kobe and lebron??
    the first by monta ellis, was better.

    Yawn. Like the other guy said, Dwight can make a halfcourt shot, but can't shoot free throws nor can he add anything to his game except dunk or lay-up.

    Am I the only one struck by the sheer strength of Dwight Howard to sit down beyond midcourt and just... flick it like that? I doubt I could make it to the basket sitting at the 3 point line.

    I think the Kobe shot was better than James' because of how effortless it was.
